choice to report for class or work is ultimately up to the student or staff member. Every effort will be made
to help the student make up educational experiences lost due to severe weather conditions.
College closings will not be linked to the K12 system closings, however K12 school closings will be posted
on television monitors for the benefit of students and staff who have children in elementary, middle and
high school. For K12 classes taught on the Green Bay Campus, individual cancellation of those classes
will be done on a case by case basis by the direct Supervisor.
Sanctions will not be imposed for students who exercise reasonable judgment and do not attend class.

ACADEMIC PROGRESSION/PROBATION POLICY – Effective fall 2017
The College’s goal is to help all students reach their educational goals. It is expected that students will
make satisfactory academic progress each semester they are enrolled. Satisfactory academic progress at
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College means achieving a minimum semester grade point average (GPA)
of 2.0 (“C”). The following academic progress policy applies to all Associate Degree and One and Two
Year Technical Diploma students carrying 6 or more academic credits in a semester. Academic standings
include good standing, academic warning, academic probation, and academic suspension.
Academic Warning
A program student whose GPA falls below 2.0 for any semester will receive a communication stating
his/her academic status will be “Academic Warning” for the next semester. Students and their program
Dean or Associate Dean will be notified of the “Academic Warning” status by email. To ensure successful
progress toward completion of his/her program, the student will be referred to meet with an academic
advisor to develop an academic plan prior to enrolling for the next semester. When the next consecutive
semester GPA of 2.0 or better is attained, the student will be reinstated to good standing.
Academic Probation
A program student will be placed on academic probation if his/her semester grade point average falls below
2.0 (“C”) for 2 consecutive semesters. Students and their program Dean or Associate Dean will be notified
of the “Academic Probation” status by email. An enrollment hold will be placed on the student
account. To ensure successful progress toward completion of his/her program, the student will be required
to meet with an academic advisor to develop an academic success plan prior to enrolling for the next
semester. If a student had previously registered for the upcoming term and did not meet with an advisor,
his/her next semester classes will be dropped with no penalty. When the semester GPA of 2.0 or better is
attained, the student will be reinstated to good standing.
